When he returned to his palace, Uncle Rong was not surprised that he came back early. He only asked whether everything was going well at the banquet.
Xi Ning nodded. He turned to look at Chuntao and hesitated. “Release all the spirits that I brought back to the palace.”
It had been quite a while now and Huo Xiu shouldn’t pay attention to them anymore. To be on the safe side, he better deal with them as soon as possible.
Chuntao knelt down with a loud “thud” sound, and said in a panic, “Please don’t drive us away. It’s my fault for speaking without thinking today. I will never dare to do it anymore……”
Uncle Rong was also stunned. He thought that Chuntao made some big mistake when she went to the banquet with Xi Ning. Xi Ning did not compromise and said, “Send them away as soon as possible.”
Chuntao even wanted to vault over and hug Xi Ning’s legs. Xi Ning dodged and went back to his bedroom alone, leaving the rest to Uncle Rong.
The system secretly checked Si TuZhao’s information just now. It turned out that it could only find very little information and knew no more than Uncle Rong. Seeing that Xi Ning was in a bad mood, it suggested, “Why don’t…… I’ll go check Si TuZhao’s character data again. This is the most accurate way to determine whether he is Chu Yi or not, but the master also knows that it takes a long time.”
“No need.” Xi Ning could guess why Si TuZhao was pretending not to know him. “He might be afraid of Huo Xiu……”
Having said that, Xi Ning was still worried that it would be another situation. Maybe he was not Chu Yi at all, or maybe he lost his memory after being seriously injured……
Xi Ning still remembered the look in Si TuZhao’s eyes when he was looking at him. He panicked and went to bed early after applying the ointment.
Late at night, there was a small sound coming from the bedroom window, but Xi Ning was already asleep and would not have noticed. Only the system was very alert and planned to wake Xi Ning at any time. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no abnormality and no one came in.
The system thought it was caused by the wind blowing, so it ignored it.
–
After a few days, Xi Ning never left his palace and he also didn’t see Si TuZhao again.
He asked Uncle Rong to inquire for information about Si TuZhao for him. Uncle Rong said that Si TuZhao may have come to investigate the two devils that had sneaked into the Immortal Palace last time. He heard someone mention it outside, but recently Si TuZhao stayed with the Immortal Emperor during the day and went back to the palace that the Immortal Emperor had arranged for him at night.
Uncle Rong thought Xi Ning was worried, but he did not think that he was Chu Yi. “Your Royal Highness, don’t worry, the Immortal Emperor will send someone to monitor him seriously, and he lives in the North Hall, which is far away from us.”
Xi Ning responded in a low voice, he asked Uncle Rong to leave and sit alone in the yard to enjoy the sun.
He propped his head up with his hand and stared at the air for a while, then suddenly got up and walked outside the hall.
A servant saw Xi Ning and hurried to follow him. “Your Royal Highness, where do you want to go? Do you need……”
“No need. I just want to have a walk by myself.”
Uncle Rong had already sent several spirits out of the Immortal Palace, but Xi Ning refused the personal servants he arranged for him, and he didn’t like people following him.
He had been waiting for so many days, and he couldn’t hold it anymore. Even if he didn’t manage to question him, he still wanted to try to meet him in person.
Xi Ning left the palace, then looked for the direction and walked slowly towards the North Hall.
On his way, he thought, what if Si TuZhao still doesn’t know him? If he is Chu Yi, he will definitely be able to relieve his illness. He planned to look for a chance to meet Si TuZhao and touch him……
Xi Ning lowered his head and walked alone. Suddenly someone called him.
“The seventh prince?”
He stopped and looked at the person who called him cluelessly. It was an unfamiliar cultivator that was standing in a pavilion not far away. He was sitting beside Si TuZhao who was also looking at Xi Ning.
But when Xi Ning saw that the person he was looking for was here, he stood still not knowing whether to leave or stay, since there were other people around.
The cultivator smiled. “It’s really Your Royal Highness, where are you going? Why are you alone?”
“I……” Xi Ning looked at Si TuZhao subconsciously, and found that he was also staring at him closely. Si TuZhao looked at him emotionless, but not as cold as he was at the banquet.
Xi Ning felt relieved a bit, he looked away from Si TuZhao and turned his head to the cultivator and said. “I was bored staying in the palace, so I wanted to have a walk alone. I won’t disturb you two for now.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and it really looked like Si TuZhao and him were strangers.
After Xi Ning left, the cultivator said to Si TuZhao, “This is the seventh prince. He is the youngest son of the Immortal Emperor. Usually he doesn’t like going out very much. Devil Lord, you should have seen him at the banquet that day.”
Si TuZhao responded faintly, sitting absent minded for a while and then got up. “Is the Immortal Emperor in the palace at this time?”
“Yes,” the cultivator hurriedly said, and wanting to lead the way for Si TuZhao, “Devil Lord, this way please.”
“No, you have already wasted a lot of time because of me, I will just go by myself.”
Si TuZhao raised his hand to stop him. He walked away and soon disappeared from his sight.
